Fun-loving, curious, deeply passionate, love to learn. I tend to get super absorbed by projects and people alike.

I've lived in seven countries and eleven cities and probably spent significant time in around thirty. Especially loved living in Tokyo, Paris, Bucharest, and Singapore. Studied Philosophy and Economics, worked in startups, consulting, finance, but spent most of my career in med tech. I grew up in the SF/Bay Area.

INTJ -- scored pretty deep along all four dimensions.

What I’m doing with my life

Investing in and advising to startups. Also writing, getting back to programming, staying healthy (hiking, rock climbing), and working on some other fun side projects.

On a typical Friday night I am

Out with friends for dinner and drinks, or working away if I'm really into a project. Lately, I've been going rock climbing with a bunch of friends to change things up. Really enjoy just chilling and watching a good move too.
